This is my 3rd time doing a collaboration with a small KZreadr. Recently I have gotten many requests from viewers to collaborate with big KZreadrs. As a small KZreadr, I have no connections at all. If you want me to collaborate with your favorite KZreadr (living in China or Japan) you need to write it on their videos. I have no power to make that happen, only you do. -Anming

@MrHoppers002 No need to feel ashamed for not speaking your mother tongue. In linguistics, it is a common phenomenon that some in a society with a different dominant language gravitate towards that. Native language is awesome and beautiful to comprise. It can get lost, though. For instance, as an African American, my native language happens to be English; albeit, I'll never know my true mother tongue(s). It's impossible to tell, due to slavery. I envy my coworkers from Africa that know theirs 😅. But I learned long ago that one shouldn't feel ashamed if they don't. We're only human. I speak a multitude of languages, now, through study. The sole purpose of language is to communicate, to be understood.

@MrHoppers002 I got you. I didn't mean to imply that you, yourself, were ashamed. I was speaking in generality. Where I live ( America/Florida) we have a predominant latin community; they tend to have Spanish as their native language. Some friends I've grown up with have felt ashamed at the fact that, whilst they understood Spanish, they didn't speak it. That sentiment always made my heart feel heavy, on their behalf. I just always wanted to let them know that there is no shame in that. No need to feel embarrassed 🙂 It doesn't change their heritage or even who they are.

@MrHoppers002 That's true.. I married a russian-speaking Ukrainian who came to Canada at 3 years old and still holds her spoken mother tongue perfectly. (Funny enough, she can't write it at all). I'm completely interested in it and it's really only because of ME that encourages that our son learn it as well. She could really care less. Does it still count for children where only 1 parent is native to that language? lol I dunno.. I'd say yes.

The best thing about your video's is that you use and speak Japanese and Chinese in the way that native speakers actually speak during daily interactions. It is nice to hear language as it is really used. Although because I had planned not to visit Japan due to Olympic crowds, now covid has made Tokyo seem almost empty. I enjoy the real day in life views that you provide. Thanks

I’m honestly so beyond impressed at your Mandarin pronunciation. as someone who has worked with second generation kids who still don’t speak with proper tones and are hesitant to learn about their ancestry, I admire the effort and time you’ve put in to get to know other languages *and* cultures that may not be inherently your own. take care!

Have never seen a foreigner who speaks Chinese so fluently like you do. You're such a big inspiration plus it seems you fun to hang around with..

The people from Harbin in your videos seem very warm and charismatic. Always a treat when you find someone from the NE. Though at the moment other languages are priority for me, i'm enjoying picking up Chinese words from your videos like "thank you" and all the variations of agreement sounds like yeah, uh-huh, mmhm, etc. Thanks for another video and lots of health to you and yours!

Yes, you are very observant. The "grunting" sounds are very important in Chinese and Japanese. It's even important when speaking English to Japanese people here. They expect you to make some sounds like that or they might think you are not listening or you didn't understand what they said.

Couldn't locate the like button fast enough! Your videos are getting better and better. Such a joy to watch!

I feel like in Japanese you're very hesitant but your confidence comes out in your Chinese. There's a notable shift. It's cool to watch. The banter seems a lot easier in Chinese too.

Currently I am learning my wife's language of Finnish 🇫🇮 and I am beginning to dip my toe into learning Japanese, but I am now thinking that maybe Mandarin could be a language to start with, and then move onto Japanese. You said in a recent video that for English speakers which I am, I'm from the UK, that a simpler route into Japanese is through Mandarin. I am going to give it some thought, and in the meantime I will carry on with some basic learning of Japanese 😀

It must be some kind of alternative reality experience for them haha (the guy doing the cooking seemed a bit like "wtf?" at first).
